KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Keiser (Fla.) begins the 2023-24 campaign atop the preseason rankings, including eight first-place votes in the NAIA Men's Golf Coaches' Top 25. Reigning National Champion British Columbia grabs 11 first-place votes and sits in second place followed by Lindsey Wilson (Ky.), Dalton State (Ga.), and Bellevue (Neb.).

Ranking Methodology

• The ranking was voted upon by a panel of head coaches representing each of the conferences. • Each conference is represented by one rater. • The Top 25 is determined by a points system based on how each voter ranks the best teams. A team receives 30 points for each first-place vote, 29 for second-place and so on through the list. • The highest and lowest ranking for each team (a non-rating is considered a low rating) is removed and the team’s ranking will be recalculated with an additional point added to each team for every ballot (including discounted ballots) that the teams appear on. • Teams that receive only one point in the ballot are not considered “receiving votes.

Receiving Votes: Marian (Ind.) 86; St. Thomas (Fla.) 75; Southwestern Christian (Okla.) 74; William Carey (Miss.) 72; Missouri Valley 53; Lawrence Tech (Mich.) 45; Morningside (Iowa) 35; Cumberland (Tenn.) 26; Midway (Ky.) 23; Roosevelt (Ill.) 21; Indiana Wesleyan 17; Kansas Wesleyan 15; Doane (Neb.) 7; Northwestern Ohio 6; Missouri Baptist 4; Webber International (Fla.) 4; Bushnell (Ore.) 3
